Lionel Messi is arguably the top soccer player in the world, and even the most casual of fans know what the FC Barcelona star’s face looks like…and it looks nothing like this image shaved in the back of this Messi fan’s head.

This image of Messi looks like some sexy transvestite/alien hybrid, which would normally be pretty cool to have shaved in your hair, but when it’s supposed to be one of the premier soccer players in the world, yeah, not so much. It could be worse—at least this haircut isn’t permanent, unlike a poorly-drawn or misspelled tattoo. And until his hair grows back in, he can always wear a hat.

It’s always best to look on the bright side of a bad haircut situation.

Don’t blame the barber—he is, after all, just a barber, and not the second coming of Rembrandt.
